Click here for the details. In swimming pools, pink slime is caused by improper water & pool maintenance, environment, poor circulation to name a few. There appears to have occurred a dramatic rise in the reported cases of pink slime especially over the past 5 to 10 years. I'll go into more depth with this comment later.
Another cause of high pH is the use of pool chemicals in incorrect amounts. Chemicals like sodium carbonate, used to raise pH when the pool is overly acidic, can be overused, causing a high pH. Calcium hypochlorite, an alkaline substance used to add more chlorine to the pool, also can cause a high pH. When a pool has high pH, it can be lowered through the addition of chemicals like muriatic acid or sodium bisulphate.
